10/10 Excellent

Quiet location, ideal for relaxing, nice walk to the beach. The staff are fantastic.
Alwyn, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Felt very clean and upmarket, staff were friendly, and the room was luxurious and spacious. Be mindful, though, that extras can get quite expensive - the spa (100€+), renting a bed at the beach (50-80€), food (60-80€+ for 2), etc.

Absolutely amazing hotel! Excellent hotel. I’ve travelled quite extensively and I must say I loved the Epic Sana hotel. Excellent service, great food, very clean, well maintained property and amazing beaches. This is a must stay if you ever go to Portugal Algarve. ❤️

Charles, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Lovely resort with many amenities and a beautiful beach. The property is situated on top of a cliff and has beautiful views of the sea. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. European breakfast was wonderful and we really enjoyed Uddo, the Japanese restaurant onsite. If you like sushi, the quality at Uddo is among the best I’ve ever had. We also walked off property for 2 dinners at an Italian restaurant around the corner and were very happy with the food there also. Overall, a very enjoyable experience at the Epic Sana and we look forward to returning!
Michael, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The property is very well maintained. Comfortable bed
Nick, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

The property was beautiful, clean, and staff was friendly. The resort is situated on a beautiful cliff side beach. Parking was free and the valet feature is extremely convenient. Also appreciated the ability to have poolside service and order via QR code right from where you are sitting. The resort is big and can take some time waking from different points of interest. Just a note the room layout is more ideal for couples.
Silvia, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Incredible hotel with amazing views. Plenty of pools to enjoy. Jessica at the front desk was extremely helpful with giving us recommendations. Patricia in the restaurant was so nice and friendly. The entire staff could not do enough for us. The breakfast had everything you can think of and it was fresh and delicious. Can’t say enough about this hotel. Hope to return .
Marcella, 3-night trip

Everything was great
Bridget, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We loved everything about this hotel. We had a 1 bedroom suite which was large, with 2 bathrooms and a kitchenette. It was quiet and had great black-out blinds. All of the staff we encountered were wonderful. There are multiple pools which were never crowded, and a beautiful beach. I would highly recommend this hotel!
Richard, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We really enjoyed our stay at the resort. The staff were excellent. The facilities are really well looked after. We enjoyed the pools and the beach. The beach was beautiful. Some others have complained about the price of food and drink and I guess in comparison to other parts of Portugal it may seem like that. It is a 5 star rating and we expected 5 star pricing for food. We enjoyed the buffet dinner although I thought there could be more hot options at dinner. We enjoyed the Lima restaurant for the wonderful staff. The food at Lima was very good but could have gone up a level to meet the hotel star rating. The regional wine suggestions were excellent in all restaurants and reasonable prices based on North American perspective. All-in-all the staff made the experience.
Catherine Gray, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We enjoyed the peace and quiet there. The breakfast buffet is excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The property is very clean and kept up well. The only issue we experienced is the tv kept going in and out. We had a wait a few minutes before the signal returned. This happened multiple times.
David, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Better than advertised. Stunning ocean view and beach access. Very private and safe.
Brett, 4-night trip

6/10 Okay

Landscape around the hotel is nice. Food was not good and expensive. We were given a room next to staff room so struggled to sleep from the noise. I think the hotel was over priced
Najeeb, 7-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I had a great stay at Epic Sana, the staff were all friendly and helpful & the property was immaculately clean and well maintained. I would highly recommend this hotel. Location wise, there are some decent restaurants, ice creams and a supermarket within 5 mins walk and you can access tennis and padel courts for a small fee.
